As a member of the Visual Arts Guild of Frisco, we are able to participate in a couple of member show throughout the year. They usually limit us to 2 pieces so that we can have multiple people participate. For this spring show, I decided to put in a few of my Holga photos instead of my paintings....you know, to show some diversity....or maybe just because I don't have any new paintings ready. I went to the thrift store on Saturday morning and picked up this nice 14 x 14 square frame with a 6 inch opening in the mat. It was perfect! I went home and painted it black and strung up a wire on the back. I think it looks pretty good for $7. That's low overhead. The show will have an opening reception from 6-8 on Saturday, March 6th at the Frisco Arts Center on Main St. I won't be able to make that night, but stop by and check out the show if you get a chance. The gallery will be open starting at noon.

PS. Happy Texas Independence Day!!!!!

Back in November, I won a drawing for an original Veronica Funk painting. The painting I chose was a 6 x 8 oil painting titled, Going Home. A few weeks ago I purchased a handmade frame from Signed and Numbered to fit the painting. I really like how it turned out. Signed and Numbered really have some nice frames for pretty cheap. The best part about them is that all their frames are handmade. Check them out. They even do custom orders as well.
